Not at all!  Just been too busy to write a proper reply.

What is it that actually goes wrong?  Error message?  Unexpected output?

Can you get ant to show you exactly the command line it tries to execute,
and post that too?

If you always want to document all classes packaged under 'org/..', then
you should indeed be able to just use 'org.*'.  When you start making
use of other libs which are also in the org namespace, this may not be
desirable though.
